Neve Tikanoja

Hello! My name is Neve and I'm 17. I live in Vaala with my family. My family consists of my father, mother, younger sister, and younger brother. We also have a 3-year-old chihuahua called Redrama.

I go to high school, and I am in the first grade. I have been working at a local petrol station for a couple of years now. I work and go to school, and I also have my own business. I make cakes, and other baked goods to order. I have been self-employed for a year.

In my spare time I like to be outdoors, be with my dog, see friends and spend time with my family. We live by a lake, so in the summer you can swim, sunbathe and sup-board on your own beach. In the winter you can ski, skate, and go to the open-air swimming pool.

I joined this project because it interests me, and I want to meet new people and see new places. I have been involved in projects before like the Empowering Nature Project which was organised and funded by Erasmus + Programme and by the local Oulujärvi Leader Organisation. I'm excited about the trip ahead and I look forward to making new friends.
